The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has announced four significant innovations for the upcoming 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE. One of such is a portal to access past questions.
The notable change introduces a unique question set for each candidate, alongside a transition to a computer-based examination format.
The Nigeria National Office Head of WAEC, Dr. Amos Dangut, expressed enthusiasm about these innovations, stating, “In our continuous effort to enhance the educational experience and improve student outcomes, WAEC is excited to announce the introduction of an innovative e-learning portal and an e-study portal, along with the availability of past examination questions.”
One of the key innovations includes the addition of past questions, which will now be accessible online.
This resource is designed to help candidates prepare effectively by familiarizing them with the exam format and question styles.
“By practicing with these questions, candidates can identify their strengths and areas that require improvement, leading to better performance in the examination,” Dr. Dangut explained.
The E-Learning Portal is another significant development.
This platform will offer a comprehensive suite of educational materials, including video tutorials and interactive lessons tailored to the WASSCE curriculum.
“By leveraging technology, we aim to create an engaging learning environment that encourages self-paced study, ultimately enhancing the academic readiness of our candidates,” he added.
Additionally, the newly introduced E-Study Portal will serve as a centralized hub for essential study resources, including study guides and revision tips. It will also facilitate collaboration among students through discussion forums
“This will allow them to engage with peers and educators for a more enriched learning experience,” Dr. Dangut noted.
